A place where we will empower each student, through unrivalled opportunities, exceptional support and challenging academic experiences to make a positive difference in the world.
Great opportunities, great students.
The essence of this school is that it puts great teachers together with great students. It gives each the resources, facilities and freedom to get on with learning. It adapts the best of both traditional and modern teaching and assessment pedagogy. Results are constantly reviewed and targets set to bring improvement.
Students are able to participate in an outstanding range of co-curricular activities. We benefit from truly world-class resources and facilities that offer a multitude of activities.
Performing Arts is about expressing humanity in its most direct form.
We aim to provide a platform on which relevant, real-life learning can occur in Music, Dance and Drama.
The college provides up to 30 different sports. Students are encouraged to participate in sport throughout their time at the college. With an extensive range of sports on offer and with a focus on long-term healthy lifestyle choices, students are pushed to unlock their potential and expand their talents.
In addition to our academic programme, Rangitoto College offers students the chance to join many clubs and groups outside of the classroom. Participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities including music, drama, dance, and cultural activities.
Today marks the first day for our new Year 9 cohort. Students have enjoyed being on campus and learning more about Rangitoto College’s community and values. A special thank you to our Year 13 Peer Support Leaders who have guided our new students through orientation today.
We can’t wait to see our returning and new students! Swipe through this post for start dates and times. 🗓

While this is not the last day of Term 4 we had envisioned, it was still wonderful to say goodbye to our junior students today. They have shown enormous resilience and positivity in the face of many unexpected challenges. We wish our community a safe and happy holidays.
